Abstract: G-equation is a popular level set model in turbulent combustion, and becomes an advective mean curvature type evolution equation when curvature of a moving flame in a fluid flow is considered: ${\displaystyle }$ G_t + left(1-d, mathrm{Div}{frac{DG}{|DG|}} ight)_+|DG|+V(x)cdot DG=0. ${\displaystyle }$ Here $d>0$ is the Markstein number and the positive part $({)}_{+}$ is imposed to avoid negative laminar flame speed that is non-physical. Assuming that $V:mathbb{R}^{2}omathbb{R}^2$ is a typical steady two dimensional cellular flow, we prove that for any unit vector $pinmathbb{R}^2$, there exists a positive number $overlineH(p)$ such that if $G(x,0)=pcdotx$, then ${\displaystyle }$ left|G(x,t)-pcdot x+overline H(p)t ight|leq C quad ext{in $mathbb{R}^{2}imes[0,infty)$} ${\displaystyle }$ for a constant $C$ depending only on $d$ and $V$. The number $overlineH(p)$ corresponds to the effective burning velocity in physics literature. The non-coercivity here is one of the major difficulties for homogenization of mean curvature-type equations. To overcome it, we introduce a new approach that combines PDE methods with a dynamical analysis of the Kohn-Serfaty deterministic game characterization of the curvature G-equation utilizing special structure of cellular flows. Extension to more general two-dimensional incompressible flows is also discussed.
